<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">After the morning at Gabrielskloof Wine Estate, we did a photo shoot (using just a tripod and the timer setting on my camera) on the beach in the afternoon - it was such crazy fun. I love these photos.</span></div>

Meet little Pepe, who is blind but manages just fine. The staff may not move any furniture around because he remembers where everything was before he became blind, so he moves around happily and doesn't bump into anything. So awesome!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I loooove crocheting. After a long and stressful day at work, a hook and some wool calms me down and makes things right in my world. It really is like therapy for me. And I love it that several of my friends also enjoy crocheting (hello Lynn and Cathy!!).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I always have several projects on the go, and many more projects in the pipeline. At the moment, I'm finishing off a wave blanket in alpaca wool from Peru, and our crochet group is making squares to make up blankets for the Ry-Ma-In home in Linden, Johannesburg.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some friends and I are also making scarves for the <a href="https://highwaymail.co.za/286628/calling-crocheters-scarves-world-record-needed/">27km crocheted scarf</a> challenge through the 67 Blankets for Nelson Mandela Project. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The non profit organisation is on a mission to set a new Guinness World Record, in celebration of what would have been former president Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">67 Blankets, a charity drive that strives to collect and donate blankets and scarves to those in need, are hoping to set a record by creating a 27km of scarf – one kilometre for every year that Madiba spent in prison. India currently holds the record for the longest scarf in the world – at 14km.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The scarves collected for the incredible feat will be distributed during the coldest months of the year. This Guinness attempt at creating the world’s longest scarf will take place on Sunday, 29 July, which is in Mandela Month. The scarf will then be displayed at the Mandela Capture Site in Howick. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here are some of the gorgeous scarves which Lynn and I have made...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our final excursion was a boat ride out to Ballestas Islands, <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">situated off the coast of the Paracas Reserve, Peru's largest coastal
wildlife sanctuary. These two beautiful islands are home to thousands of
resident migratory sea birds. These include pelicans, boobies, cormorants and gulls who share their habitat with colonies of sea lions. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was such an overwhelming day that was both fabulous and disappointing. I loved being there but there were just too many tourists, and the tourist police refused to let us sit down and just take it all in. We were rushed through the site in about 3 hours with no time to pause, to breathe and reflect on the magnificence of Machu Picchu.</span></div>

located at the top of a mountain. From the perspective of the archaeological
site, you will look down upon the town of the same name and see its incredibly
narrow streets and canals that have not changed since the Incas constructed
them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hotel provides free coca tea which helps with altitude sickness. We drank a few cups of the herbal tea, but we didn't really need it - Johannesburg is at high altitude, so we were fine with the high altitude in Cusco. We got a bit out of breath when we walked up stairs, but otherwise, we were fine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you're thinking of heading to South America, I've done a full review of all the lodges and hotels that we stayed at on TripAdvisor. We did not travel with a group. LED Tours in Cape Town (together with TravelAbility in Johannesburg) organized our bespoke trip and Condor Travel was the local tour operator in Peru - all were excellent and are highly recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've been going to several art journaling classes to build my skills, and also learn how to use some of the supplies that I already have. If you're in the Johannesburg area, I highly recommend a visit to Short Cuts Crafts in Lonehill - the have a huge selection of art and scrapbooking supplies, and they are very friendly. Jowilna Nolte is an excellent teacher. I also buy art supplies from Stencil Art in Randburg, but their service is really not good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Based on an idea from Pat Jenkerson, our little crochet and knitting group are making squares to create blessing blankets. Once finished, the blankets will be donated to Ry-Ma-In home for cerebral palsy in Linden, Johannesburg. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I like to crochet a few rows when I get home at night from work, so these little squares are an easy project when I don't feel like working on my Tunisian crochet blanket. I've already made 6 squares. Yes ... I have several PHD's - Projects Half Done.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was seriously the worst show that I have ever seen, and there were several boos from the audience instead of applause. The lighting was terrible - it shone right in our eyes from floor level, our seats were changed at the last minute to terrible seats, they promised synchronized swimmers (one of the dancers falling into the pool does not qualify as synchronized swimming!) and there were no water acts. It seems to be a bunch of ex-gymnasts who are trying to make a living. There were a few good acts, but overall, it was terrible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Elizabeth's 8th birthday party was held at Bounce Fourways - a great venue for kids and adults. I booked an hour of Clip 'n Climb, followed by an hour or trampolining. The girls (and their dads!) were exhausted by the time we got the cupcakes out for a final happy birthday song.</span></div>
